Fossil Q Marshal

Fossil Q Marshal Review

According to different professional sports consumers online, the Fossil Q Marshal has the looks, but lacks the technical hook. This fitness wearable has a touchscreen, phone synchronizing and a fitness tracker with a classic style. What made us take a deeper look is the mention of the lacking technical hook. This is what athletes had to say.

Pros / What Customers Like:

• For one, the price it is an affordable smartwatch compared to the more elite brands and most consumers loved the traditional timepiece look.
• For users, the solid dust- and water-resistance is a plus and allows them to wear the watch while showering or doing dishes.
• The majority of health fanatics found the step count accurate when walking, but not great when used in a metafit class.
• Most executives bought the watch for its outstanding smartphone-syncing to receive notifications directly from their phone. A bonus is they do not need to take out their phone to receive/make calls or listen to music.
• Now for the applications, this is where this watch shines according to different professionals. There are loads of compatible apps that work with this watch. You can enhance the fitness tracking skills with Strava and get football scores right on your wrist.

Cons / What Customers Don't Like:

• A big problem most sports users had is the bulky weight, especially when taking long runs and it is only available in one size. We noted this in athletes with smaller wrists.
• Another thing professional users would have loved is if they could turn the circular face to navigate through menus.
• The biggest complaint is the grainy colors when used indoors and even more washed out when viewing the screen outdoors.
• Different sports enthusiasts found it lacks important features such as GPS, lacks the heart-rate sensor, and the fact that it does not convert information into tangible data.

Verdict:

For a great looking smartwatch, the Fossil Q Marshal stands out for all the right reasons. If you do need more than just taking calls or messages, this is not the watch to have. It lacks the most important features for accurate fitness tracking GPS and a heart-rate sensor.
